If you are attending both our engagement party in Prague, Czech Republic and the wedding in Brazil you will have the chance to visit at least 4 out of the world's top 100 wonders.
Hillman Wonders is a list compiled by a "world traveller" who spent 30 years researching and ranking. The list has been published by major publications.
The Old Town in Prague is on place 56. I have walked around the Old Town many times but never it struck me as one of world's top wonders. I guess that sometimes you take things in your vicinity for granted and don't appreciate their true beauty.
The Iguaçu falls are on place 7. They stretch across 3 km and dwarf the Niagara falls.
The Amazon Rain Forest is world's 9th wonder. If you can stand the wall of mosquitoes I highly recommend it due to the amazing wildlife.
The panoramic views of Rio de Janeiro are number 48. A helicopter ride greatly enhances the experience.
The carnival in Rio is number 87 but you would have to stay 2 months in Brazil since the carnival usually occurs at the end of February.

Wow. I didn't realize I've been to 14 of them. I trip to Florence, Venice and Egpyt seems to give you about 15 of them. I still have about 3-4 in my own country to see.
